It’s the way.

Well, I'm as NIMBY as it gets, but as for paying for it? No problem whatsoever. High earners need to be taxed way more. It's crazy. I grew up with a single mom and we were so poor it was ridiculous. Now I'm on the other side of the coin and it's even more ridiculous. They should be taxing the #### out of me.
It's embarrassing and greedy how much some people can make while others are scraping by and we have literal zombies bumbling around our falling-apart city and having our cool bridges smashed up all the time. There are people with money out there that they did not earn because nobody's labour is so valuable they should have orders of magnitude more than others. No one deserves to be filthy rich (I'm absolutely not saying I fall into that category, but I'm enough on the spectrum that I should be taxed more). If you're making over, like, $2 million a year or something, it should be taxed at 99%. So people can still be stupidly rich, but let's cut it out with the glittering wealth until basic problems are sorted out.
